There are few iPhone games that I will immediately buy. Most of the ones I do, however, are the classic games I played as a teenager.
The iPhone/iPod touch is more than powerful enough to handle these games and it seems that there are many people like me who are keen to experience these classics again. So, here’s a roundup of modern ports of classic games. Only official ports of classic games are detailed here — clones and the like do exist but I had to draw a line in the sand. I’ve also included links to Wikipedia for those interested in the history of the games
See the list at The Apple Blog
Hey Andrew,
I’ve read the retro and multiplayer games articles you’ve written. I dunno if you ever played nibbles.bas on MS-DOS, but I ported it to iPhone and the app is called Snake DOS. It’s pretty retro with a DOS-like UI and has p2p over bluetooth.
I’d be happy to provide you some promo codes if it looks interesting to you. here’s some links..

Hi Andy,
I think your best bet it to add a comment on the The Apple Blog retro article for now. If I ever do an updated retro collection I’ll remember SnakeDOS
Thanks andrew!
